Poll: Clinton's lead on Trump shrinks to 5 percent in Wisconsin

One month after the conventions wrapped up, the margin of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton's lead over GOP candidate Donald Trump has shrunk in Wisconsin.

The Marquette Law School poll says that Clinton has a 42 percent to 37 percent lead on Trump right now among registered voters,. That was a double digit lead during the last poll released a few weeks ago.

Among likely voters, Clinton's lead is even smaller - 3 percent (45 to 42 percent).

That is a 12 percent change from early August, when Clinton had a 52% to 37% lead just after the Democratic National Convention.

"In early August, we had a successful Democratic convention that helped her, and we also had one of the worst weeks of the Trump campaign...advantages of the convention have largely gone away for her, and Trump has recently had a more normal campaign that has avoided the missteps he made right after the convention."
